Oh, certainly. I find the lack of a mouse to be almost as insufferable as the lack of a keyboard.

There's no reason why iOS couldn't incorporate more-complex keybindings throughout, and it fact macOS does incorporate some emacs-like keybindings.

Actually, take a look at customize[0]: it's a complete, mouse- or keyboard-driven GUI (yes, that includes buttons & checkboxes). It can be pretty nice to be able to C-s and interactive-search a GUI panel.
I certainly won't deny that a mouse or stylus is useful for precision GUI manipulation — I'm just noting that more can be achieved with a keyboard that typical 1984-Macintosh-derived GUIs attempt.
